One Sheet Wonder with Pressed Petals

Good Morning, Stampin’ Up! has regional managers that help guide and train demonstrators. The Great Lakes manager shared a One Sheet Wonder video on our Facebook page. Here is what I created along with her.

I then hosted my own Create Along on my Facebook page using a similar template. Find that video here to replay and Create Along with Me. You need to be on Facebook to watch this video.

Here are the different versions I created using my One Sheet Wonder Template.

Sniblets CASE

May 12, 2020Leave a comment

My demonstrator friend from the United Kingdom saw a video where I showed my sniblets pile. You know the one: the basket, bucket or shelf that holds all the scraps from previous projects. She said she had a good project to share that would use my sniblet strips. My project in this post is a CASE of her sniblet project. I had to make it purple, of course!

Just layer some strips on a base. Then custom cut around the base to create a focal point background.

Supplies used in making this project…

I also shared a how to video in a Create Along with Me on Facebook. Here is a link to the video in case you are on Facebook. While you are there, turn on Notifications to my page so you get notified when I go live next. FB Live videos are available for replay too.

Have a great day that includes purple, a gorgeous grape shade will do!
